My friend is completly delusional. He doesn''t know C++ at all yet and he has just bet me $500,000 that he can make a $1,000,000 profit on a 3d shooting game within 3 years. Is he insane or just stupid? Oh yeah, and he is going to do it completly alone! woohoo

your kidding me, right? 500,000? with 5 zeros? he is one stupid mofo.... unless he secretly has been learning C++ behind your back

The Light shine on you

Wow, you have 500,000 to bet him? You must be rich!

Is your friend''s name John Romero or something? hehe

Wish him luck... he''ll need it, creating a good 3D engine takes a lot of time (I won''t say anything about the modeling, story, level mapping, creating textures, promoting etc )

If he can bet $500,000, he can probably hire a decent development team.

He''s Insane :D

But maybe he''s a genius and a mathguru But even then, it''s very hard to write a engine. 3 years to learn programming and writing the engine? 3 years to learn and 3 years to write is more realistic :D
